15 Times We Didn’t Notice a Celebrity Having a Crush

Studies have shown that a crush lasts an average of 4 months. If feelings last for longer than that, one is considered to be officially in love. Celebrities are just like us — they too take a liking to other people. At times, they even end up falling for each other. Some of these crushes blossom into a relationship, while others don’t, and many go unnoticed.

The Bright Side team dug through the Internet to find celebrities’ crushes that we had never known of before.

15. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had crushes on each other while filming Friends.
